Step 2: If you are entering Grades 6-12, you MUST complete this important survey.
You will be asked to choose course electives and language preferences which we need in order to create your class schedule. 6th graders do not have electives or language preferences, but we do need the other information. Please have your latest report card or transcript available to upload. Students entering in K-3 do NOT need to fill out this form.
Step 3: NEST+m Fall Reopening Plan Information - Very Important for ALL students who accept waitlist offers
As per our recently-approved NEST+m Exception model, ALL students will participate in remote learning for academic classes five days per week in the mornings. The Blended learning students will come in for one afternoon per week from 1:50pm-3:50pm for Small Group Instruction (this consists of Advisory, Social Emotinlal Learning, Academic Support or other Related Services). Remote learning students will receive their Small Group Instruction all online. If you want to select Remote Learning for your student, it is not too late!
- Visit the DOE Learning Preference Survey to make your selection for Remote Learning at any time.
